JESSIE MAY CHAMBERS has to be versatile to handle her teaching assignment-typewriting. consumer education and eighth grade math. Although this is her first year of teaching at L.H.S.. she speaks enthusiastically of the friendliness and spirit of cooperation among the students. MISS EVELYN COVINGTON names Odessa, Texas, as her birthplace and is as proud of the fact as are all Texans. She teaches problems and current history. An active cluhwoman. Miss Cov- ington has little spare time to devote to raising cacti. her hobby. or to haseball. her favorite sport las an observer, not a participantj. Latin and MISS CATHERINE CRAIG are synonymous at L.H.S. Because of her fine work in making Latin fascinating and attractive, Lakeland has the largest Latin department in the state. A native of Alabama. Miss Craig is a graduate of Wfesleyan at Macon, Georgia. She dislikes the confusion in L.H.S. and hopes for serenity and more storage space in the new building. N0 one has yet determined how such a small person as MISS VIRGINIA DAVIS can contain so much energy. ability and know-how in general. Miss Davis. who teaches journalism. once was .id- visor to all three of our fine publications. Now she confines her publishing activities to the Bag- pipe and no sound is as familiar to her classes as, Remember, today is the deadline? MR. JOHN DEEDRICK names basketball as his favorite sport as well he might, for he was a top' ranking varsity player during his college career. This is his third year at L.H.S. teaching physical education. and boys who ask every day if they are going to dress out are his pet peeve. The main thing he dislikes about L.H.S. is the lack of respect which boys and girls have for the teachers and for school property. When asked what she would like to see in the new building. MRS. MERVYN DICKINSON, with characteristic humor, said, Mel Students of General Math 2 know that this is the sort of thing that they can expect from their capable and witty teacher.

These are a part of MR. HARRY HATCHERS background, as are degrees from the University of Tennessee and Peabody College. He teaches English 3. MR. GEORGE JOHNSON, who teaches world geography and math, is a native of Brier Hill. Pennsylvania. His leisure hours are spent tinkering in his workshop or amusing his baby daughter. Georgia. In the new building he hopes to see lounges provided for the teachers and for the students to use in their free moments. It is hard to believe that MISS EUNICE KEEN. bustling about the library in her customary brisk manner, has been L,H.S. librarian for sixteen years. Any student who asks her for help will find that his needs become her primary concern, and she will not stop until the deed has been accomplished. Despite her associations with all 1700 of them. Miss Keen likes best about her job her contacts with the students. MISS REBECCA KEITH is back at L.H.S. after taking a year's leave of absence to obtain her M.A. degree at F.S.L'. Teaching American history leaves her little time for her hobby, reading. To Miss Keith. the ideal student is loyal to his school and all its activities, an enthusiastic participant in several things, working to the best of his ability in the classroom. A rather peculiar combination of subjects-typewriting, office practice and Bible-keeps MRS. EULA LASTINGER leaping from one train of thought to another. Almost the entire school de- pends upon the fine secretarial work done by her office practice class where the work is not only under Mrs. Lastinger's direction, but much of the actual doing is by her. Two sons keep her busy outside of school. Advisor to the S.G.A. has assumed an important role in MR. WILLIAM LAWRENCES routine. Teaching four classes of health education leaves him scarcely enough time to cope with the many problems that an active S.G.A. presents. Travel, baseball, his young daughter, meteorology-these are among Mr.,Lawrence's favorites
